Who We Are

Sharemaestro provides market research tools, charts, indicators, search, account functionality, analytics, and a public JSON API for educational and research use.

What We Collect

  • Account data you provide, such as name, title, email address, member status, login state, and email-confirmation status.
  • Technical data needed to operate the website, such as session cookies, CSRF security cookies, request metadata, error information, and server logs.
  • Analytics data only if you accept analytics cookies, including visitor/session identifiers, pageviews, clicks, form interactions, scroll depth, performance metrics, device/browser information, rough geographic/network intelligence, referrers, campaign parameters, crawler activity, and AI-agent referrals.
  • Search and chart usage data where analytics consent is active, including pages viewed and interactions with market tools.
  • AI report prompts submitted inside the analytics dashboard, where that feature is used.

Technologies We Use

DjangoRuns the website, authentication, sessions, forms, security protections, admin tools, and APIs.
PostgreSQLStores member records, market data, indicators, analytics records, and application state.
Sharemaestro AnalyticsCustom first-party analytics used to understand journeys, conversions, crawlers, AI agents, campaign attribution, errors, performance, and product usage.
CookiesUsed for essential security/session functionality and, only after consent, analytics visitor/session measurement.
Google AdSenseMay be used to serve advertising if enabled. Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies, local storage, web beacons, IP addresses, device information, and similar technologies to serve, measure, limit, and protect ads.
OpenAI APIUsed for analytics report planning when an authorised user submits an analytics question. Prompts and structured report outputs may be stored for audit and product improvement.
Market Data SourcesUsed to retrieve and process public market data for charts and research outputs.
Local JavaScript LibrariesUsed for charts, search, interactions, and dashboard UI. Core libraries are served locally rather than from third-party CDNs.

Cookies And Consent

Essential cookies are used for security, login sessions, CSRF protection, and remembering your cookie choice. Optional analytics and advertising cookies are not set in consent-required regions unless you accept optional cookies.

  • Essential: session and security cookies required for the site to work.
  • Consent: sm_cookie_consent, sm_analytics_consent, and sm_ads_consent remember whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics and advertising cookies.
  • Analytics: he_vid and he_sid are first-party visitor and visit cookies used by Sharemaestro Analytics only after you accept analytics.
  • Advertising: Google and other advertising vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, limit how often ads appear, detect fraud and abuse, and, where allowed, personalize ads based on visits to Sharemaestro and other websites.

You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

Advertising, Google AdSense, And Ad Choices

If advertising is enabled, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to Sharemaestro and other websites. Google's advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve, personalize, measure, and protect ads.

Third-party advertising vendors and ad networks may place or read cookies in your browser, use web beacons, or use IP addresses and device information as a result of ad serving on Sharemaestro.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Sharemaestro is designed not to load Google advertising scripts until consent allows it. Google may also require a certified consent management platform message for personalized ads in those regions.

Why We Use Data

  • To provide accounts, authentication, dashboards, search, charts, APIs, and market research tools.
  • To secure the website, prevent abuse, diagnose errors, and maintain reliability.
  • To understand how pages, charts, search, and member flows are used where analytics consent is active.
  • To measure campaign attribution, crawler demand, AI-agent referrals, product engagement, and conversion funnels where analytics consent is active.
  • To fund the site through advertising, measure ad performance, prevent advertising fraud and abuse, and comply with advertising network policies where advertising is enabled.
  • To generate analytics reports when authorised users submit report prompts.

Lawful Bases

Depending on the context, we rely on contract or pre-contract steps to provide member functionality, legitimate interests for security and service operation, legal obligations where applicable, and consent for non-essential analytics cookies, advertising cookies, ads personalization where applicable, and related processing.

Sharing And Processors

We do not sell personal data. Data may be processed by infrastructure, database, email, market data, AI service, analytics, and advertising partners where needed to operate, measure, secure, improve, or fund the service. Public market data and API outputs are not intended to identify individual users.

Retention

Account data is kept while the account exists or as needed for legitimate administrative, legal, and security purposes. Analytics data is kept only as long as useful for operational research, security, trend analysis, and portfolio demonstration, then deleted or aggregated where appropriate.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of your personal data, and to withdraw consent for analytics cookies. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
